My new laptop

Dan and I made up the 768,000 visitors at the IT Show 2009. We were there on Sunday after our weekly morning run, gosh, our jaws dropped when we saw the massive crowd at Suntec Convention Ground Floor waiting to go up the escalators. It was only about 12+pm in the afternoon then and the doors to the IT show were just opened, but it was already packed! It took us more than ten minutes just to go up the escalators lor! Needless to say, we were sardines inside the exhibition hall by 2pm!

Like all others, we were combing for a good bargain there... The purpose was to get a pretty reasonable laptop at an attractive price (read: cheap!). Thus we were wandering around the various PC booths, trying to compare the specifications and prices... Long story short, we stumbled across this HP promotion and we both agreed that this was the ONE! ... HP Pavilion dv4-1301tx Entertainment Notebook PC @ $1,299 (student offer price) with 2nd and 3rd year pick up and return local warranty... Ya ya, of course I am no longer a student, but my younger brother still is... So there we have it! Cheap, good and still got 3 years warranty! I like HP anyway.

Now waiting for it to be delivered in a few weeks time...
